I just read the newsletter and saw that a walk is scheduled for Pittsburgh, Pa in Sept. Just was curious about who was running it,and if I can help in anyway? I live about 60 miles south of the city. I am planning on walking and hopefully getting some family and friends to participate. Keep me informed if you can. Thanks Linda

Hi Linda,

That would be great if you can help and participate.

You can contact Gaurav Shah at [email protected]. He is the contact but if you have any other questions, let me know.

He is a dental student and very excited to be doing this. It is the first oc walk in Pittsburgh.

Thanks so much!!!

Susan

Gaurav_Shah , just when and where will the walk take place? I want to be there to walk as far as I can. I will be having my 3rd surgery for an Aortic Anneurysm son and I hope I can make some new OC friends in person.

Hi Jim,

The walk is September 18th at Riverside Park I believe, go to the events site Jim for more info, Gaurav's website is above as well.

Hope you can make it, even if you don't walk. Having you there for support and represent OCF would be wonderful.

Take care
